Great Gift Ideas for Mothers Day - May 13th, 2012

You can never do enough for your Mother, period. Mothers are the key to the existence of the World. You treat a woman bad and trust us, you will pay for it ten fold wherever your life takes you. That being said, a good way to show how much you love them is to make their lives easier and with these goodies right here, we think you will be off to a great start. Whether your buying these gifts for your Mom, the Mother of your children or the woman you hope to marry keep this thought in mind, a card and flowers are nice, but a Cappuccino machine is better.

Le Creuset’s new French Press is the ultimate in simple brewing when it comes to making perfectly brewed coffee, consistently. Available in Truffle, Cherry and Marseille at finer retailers starting at $60.

These Le Creuset Cappuccino Cups & Saucers are for the lover of blue in you. These beautifully hued cups hold a pefect 7oz and are also available in Truffle, Cherry & Marseille at fine retailers starting at $35 (for a set of 2)

The Activ –Ball original Corkscrew & Foilcutter by Le Creuset feature a 2 piece set to help get the night started off right or to help keep it going on course. Nothing is worse than being in a house full of great wines, champagnes and other fly libations only to be told, you have nothing to open the bottles with. And lets face the facts, none of us are trying to be the guy who kills an innocent bystander slicing open a bottle with a sword. Get with the times and get something that will actually start a conversation in your kitchen. Available in iconic Black & Flame, Black & Marseille, Black & Cherry and straight Black at finer retailers for $30.

The Delicha patented automatic Tea Maker by Swissmar’s Dalla Piazza line is a tea lover’s dream come true. A perfect cup of tea is only as hard as bringing water to a boil with this simplistic beauty of a workhorse. Durable, sleek & dishwasher safe make this a perfect purchase for under $100.

The Osyris Decanter by Peugeot enables you to keep those mature bottles of wine in pristine condition when being transferred from bottle to decanter. Its narrow inner (decanting) funnel chamber enables the wine to be delicately placed at the side of carafe minimizing the risk of aeration. The beautiful glass decanter is suitable for a 750 ml bottle of wine and has a narrow contact surface between the carafe and the table-top to prevent excessive thermal transfer, protecting wine that has been resting at its proper temperature.

Le Creuset - Revolution Silicone Tools

When the word Revolution is thrown into a sentence it can enhance the sound of things dramatically. What once was a fight between neighboring cities became “The Revolution” Doesn’t it sound much cooler that way?  Apply that same thought process to a tool or utensil that gets used more often than a pencil and it could potentially become life changing.

Everyone needs a tool to make life easier, whether it be a fine hair paint brush used to bring out the most intricate of details in a painting or a Silicone spatula that is virtually resistant to stains, sticking and warping. Tools make life easier.

Le Creuset needs no introduction on this site and hopefully not in your home either. We recently got our hands on the Revolution Silicone Tool Set and found out that our trusty wooden spoon had some hefty competition headed its way.

We busted the tools out, washed em off and got to work. Making a few soups and stews and a huge pot of Spaghetti sauce we were able to put almost every tool to use right away.

The Revolution Silicone Tool set comes with 6 tools and a really sturdy base, which is heat resistant as well, so having to move it away from burners on a stove or a hot pot has become a thing of the past.

Le Creuset, Culinary Artistry With A Sense Of Style

It’s a well known fact, when someone makes a large purchase that proves to be worth its hefty price tag years down the line, they feel good about their decision making abilities and themselves. Especially if that product is something that is going to see years of rigorous work, sometimes day after day depending on ones style. No one likes to buy something and have it quickly break only to have a loud mouth friend or relative say those 7 annoying words “Well, You Get What You Pay For.”

Cooking and serving ware are no different. In fact you have to really take a look at what you are using while cooking or serving a meal and see what it says about your personal sense of style. Yes we all have a few cherished pots, pans, skillets and plates that match nothing in our cupboards, but we clutch onto them dearly like a scared old lady does her handbag in an elevator, for sentimental reasons.

But all of that has nothing to do with purchasing something for yourself, now does it? With that said, take a look at the following Le Cresuet products and think about how having a matching set of cooking and serving ware creates an ambiance, pulls together a room and quickly sets the tone for what should presumably be an amazingly cooked meal.

In Caribbean Blue, the Small Oval Serving Bowl (18oz) is perfect for holding just about anything you could wish to bring to the table in large amounts before dishing out individual portions.

In the same Caribbean Blue color way you can also get the new Le Creuset Wok Dish, which is sure to get a few looks from their stylish approach to the classic design of a Wok. This dish is great because of its Versatility, as it can go from the oven or microwave straight to the table (a great way to spruce up some take out you brought home trying to impress your date.)

Everyone should own a fresh pitcher to serve some drinks from. Every now and then people want to have fresh Lemonade, Sangria, grown up Kool-Aid or whatever kind of libation you may feel like sipping on and you don’t want to be the person pulling out that plastic pitcher with the twist off lid your mama had when you were a kid. This version is heavy, so it wont be easily knocked over but yet not so heavy no one can pick it up to pour from it.

We have said it time and time again. Le Creuset makes products that are well beyond the worth of what the price tag says it costs. I have a pot that has been handed down a few times and is over 50 years old. I have never had any issues using it, cleaning it or storing it. The great things about Le Creuset is, they offer a variety of colors to fit everyone’s lifestyle and home decorating choices and they make products that will truly last a lifetime.

One Good Tool Can Provide A Lifetime Of Great Memories. Le Creuset's Oval French Oven

If there is one thing we cannot stress enough, it is the fact that quality products combined with a bit of know how will provide you with memorable experiences, every time. Going into any task with poorly made tools will require a lot more thought and skill, therefore requiring constant attention and proper planning before and during the job.

Something notable, can be said for the tool that alleviates stress and worry, allowing your attention to be focused on other elements of a project, without the shadow of a doubt as to what is going on elsewhere in your kitchen.

Synonymous with quality, the Le Creuset brand continues to release products that triumphantly withstand the tests of time, in updated color ways to constantly spark their millions of loyal customers interest, year after year. 

A great Dutch Oven is something that every household should own. Dutch ovens serve many purposes from sauteeing vegetables, searing meats prior to roasting or braising them, braising and roasting dishes and just about anything else you could think of that requires a pot that evenly disperses heat time and 

time again. 

We picked up a "French Oven" as Le Creuset calls their stylish line of Dutch Ovens and put it to use. After giving it a thorough wash (by the way this line of Enameled Cast Iron is dishwasher safe, oven safe and stove top safe) we decided on making some great Caldo De Siete Mares (Soup of the 7 Seas / recipe attached.)

Step Your Bar Game Up. 1 Fresh Bar Tool (In 3 Fly Styles) That Everyone Should Own

Everyone knows that a good house party will eventually gravitate from the dance floor towards either the kitchen or a well stocked bar area. Having the right tools to assist in making the night flow effortlessly is of high importance, when any event is taking place within the walls of your own home. 

It is truly no fun attending a party where someone is thoughtful enough to bring the host a few bottles of something they delicately selected, only to have the host say, "I do not have anything to open that with." The guy who uses his teeth or the backside of a lighter may be a hit at some functions, but what about when the time calls for a much more refined sense of style? 

These our friends, are the exact moments where having a bit of knowledge, a few good products that will last a lifetime and a bit of savoir faire, will take you much further than you could have ever expected.

Screwpull, a brand synonymous with luxury and class has newly released 1 life style product in 3 classic styles, all aimed to help upgrade the knowledge and style points with these fresh products designed for the expert wine drinker or all around libation specialist in all of us.
